THE NERV

THE NERV. A new generation of Punk is rising, infused with what originally made Punk Rock great –raw power, combined with a socially conscious worldview. Fronted by powerful female vocals, THE NERV packs a punch with their heavy, driving beats and brutal, in-your-face instrumentation combined with provocative lyrical content. THE NERV began in 2007 with original members CHRIST CAMPBELL on guitar and vocalist NIS ANTHROPE, later joined by bassist DEDE LEE (Jack Killed Jill, Kittenhead) and CHRIS GAW on Drums. THE NERV released their first LP, "THE NOW CRISIS" in 2009, followed up with “DECIVILIZED” in 2011 and "TRUST IN FIRE" featuring drummer ANDY V. GALLEON (Death Angel) who also is on the band's latest release "STANDARD DEVIANT." The band has hit its stride professionally, supporting well-known acts such as THE VANDALS, T.S.O.L., D.R.I., D.O.A., AGENT ORANGE, THE DICKIES, PHILM, THE FREEZE, BATALLION OF SAINTS and THE TUBES “We believe in the power of music and art to create social change on a systemic level. THE NERV stands for emancipation, empowerment and compassion for all forms of life and overthrowing systems that perpetuate oppression.” ~ Nis Anthrope “Hard work, hard music, good friends and good times.” ~ Christ Campbell
